~File management:
For example: Create a folder called Smartboard Lessons, then another folder inside that one called Notebook Templates. Store all the games/resources made by others that you find there. When you find a need for one, open it up, edit to fit your lesson, etc. and then re-save it in another folder based by the class/lesson. Your templates will always remain but now you have ready made games that work too!
